I BOUGHT THIS VIDEO IN 1994 AND I RIPPED MY ABS UP. KURT IS AN EXPERIENCED TRAINER WHO WORKED WITH THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS AS A TRAINER AND NUMEROUS OTHER ATHELETES. HE DISCUSSES THE MENTAL ASPECTS OF GETTING FIT, WHICH I FOUND ALLOWED ME TO SUSTAIN MY DEVOTION TO THE VIDEO AND, FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, GET REAL RESULTS.

If you buy one workout tape to be used by a man, this is it. The exercises are very challenging and the presentation is excellent. There are 3 difficult workout routines to choose from, and good luck trying to master level 2. Be sure to leave the sound on, because you don't want to miss the great advice Kurt gives you on how to train and get "good gains." "Don't worry, about becoming a workout freak...and remember...You're going to have good days, and bad days...relationship problems...what you ate...how much sleep you got last night. The important thing is to be consistent." Well said Kurt.

I am a women and I love this video. Years ago a guy in blockbuster video recommended it. I tried it and I was pleasingly surprised. If you're a beginner, then you should definitely start with level one and work your way up. Each level is challenging and effective. Kurt Brungardt is an awesome trainer. He works each section of your abs. No muscle is left out. Doing this workout along with a little change in your eating habit, I assure you, you would be amazed at the results you'll see. I highly recommend this video.

This workout video has 3 levels. I mastered level 1 and moved on to level 2, which is supposed to "bring out the cuts". The first time I did level 2 I could see the cuts in my abs. I can't wait to try level three! Kurt gives great advice during the workout. He talks about eating right, and what levels to do once you've mastered them all. This is a great ab workout video!

A great ab exercise video, and I would recommend using this video with the book by Kurt Brungardt. There are three levels, beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and all three levels are great. Found some great results, and Kurt is great about taking it at your own pace and good about cooling down after a workout. Don't know how one could injure themselves since Brungardt is pretty methodical. Great movitator too. If you can get this, then I suggest you do.

I used this video for years, first to rehab a low back injury. I later lost about 8 lbs. and found I had the best abs. Once you memorize the workouts, you can do them even when away from home.

I've added to the workouts and stretching on the video. Also, I'm now doing hanging leg raises and using leg weights. I haven't found another routine that I think is much better.

This VHS tape of ab workouts got me prepped for a play in which I had to remove my clothing, and it worked to shape my abs in about 4 or 5 weeks. I already had a head start, but the programs were a great guide and concentrated ab builder. Kurt Brungardt's easy-going demeanor and ultra-sensitive hair cut keep you relaxed as you work that gut off! As long as you concentrate and stay in form during the workouts, you will eject the tape feeling like someone went twenty rounds with your abs with a couple of tennis rackets. But as Kurt said, it will be "that good pain."

I own all of Kurt Brungardt's workout books and this video and they are the best available. Use the video regularly and you will get results. The video is particularly helpful as you can see the proper technique being done. I wish Kurt would complete his "Complete Book of ..." series by writing one on "Chest and Back", because I'll buy that the day it comes out. I have no idea what the reviewer who complained is talking about.

This is a great video and Brungardt is a superb instructor. His book is the best I've read on abs and this is one of the best ab videos I've used. There are actually three workouts on the video. Each gets a bit more challenging.

Brungardt gives you lots of helpful information about your abs and workouts. I would have gladly given it five stars but I found one minor issue. Brungardt showed both a warm up and a cool down but not with each workout in one solid sequence. This could be a problem for those who want to do a warm up, a cool down and the workout all together. Personally I didn't have a problem with it as I do very little warming up and cooling down when it comes to ab workouts.

These workouts are not the ordinary run of the mill exercises and even though they're short workouts, you will feel the burn and the exercises will work.

Be sure and modify any of the exercise forms you may need to, especially if you have a bad back and he warns that the last workout is really not for those with bad backs. If you have his book or can get it, you will see exercises you can do that are safer than others for those with bad backs.

An excellent video. Great for men or women.

Simple to follow, 10 minutes a day, inspiring, and achieves results. Tried others and was really turned off to the hype, fake smiles and bull.. Have been using for 5 years, I'm ripped... but Kurt.. could you do another one Pleeeeeze?
